gizaI just saw this on CNN:
I think what they really mean to say is that by getting hotels to stop selling TV-based pornography, they are going to boost online sales of pornography when people surf to it on their laptops over their hotel-provided wireless Internet connections. Try stopping that!
Heck, if these people manage to get hotels to stop selling porn on TVs, I could just see those same hotels turning around becoming affiliates for someone of the larger online porn sites instead. That would be fun!
Oh, just some background on the Family Research Council, these are the same people who have publicly called for the extermination of homosexuals. The FRC, specifically their president, the same Tony Perkins quoted above, also has a business relationship with the Ku Klux Klan. So feel free to draw your own conclusions about the FRC.
Conservatives ask FBI to investigate hotel porn
NEW YORK (AP) -- Pornographic movies now seem nearly as pervasive in America's hotel rooms as tiny shampoo bottles, and the lodging industry shows little concern as conservative activists rev up a protest campaign aimed at triggering a federal crackdown.
A coalition of 13 conservative groups -- including the Family Research Council and Concerned Women for America -- took out full-page ads in some editions of USA Today earlier this month urging the Justice Department and FBI to investigate whether some of the pay-per-view movies widely available in hotels violate federal and state obscenity laws.
The coalition also is trying to draw attention to CleanHotels.com, a directory of hotels and motels nationwide that pledge to exclude adult offerings from their in-room entertainment service.
Though porn is now cheaply and readily accessible on the Internet, and through many other outlets, the activists chose to target the hotel industry in part because of the well-known brands of corporations that cater to family vacationers as well as business travelers.
"These are places that you take your family -- these are respectable institutions," said Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council. "Anything that brings porn into the mainstream is a concern. It just desensitizes people."
